HR 9 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Urges the states to compel Congress to propose an amendment to repeal the Sixteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution and return taxation authority to the states

HR 9 is a resolution urging all states to pressure Congress to propose a constitutional amendment repealing the Sixteenth Amendment, which allows federal income taxation. If passed, this would end the federal government's authority to collect income taxes from individuals, transfer sole tax authority to states, and require the federal government to fund itself through apportioned state payments based on an annual balanced budget. The resolution also mandates that Congress must pass a balanced budget each year, with states withholding funds if it fails to do so, effectively halting federal tax collection until a budget is approved. This would fundamentally shift tax authority from the federal government to states while imposing new budgetary constraints on Congress.
